Recreating the Past

The car shop would like to thank the students and staff of the Manufacturing Technology program at Westfield Technical Academy. They have been hard at work on some controller segments for our cars. Taking an unused, original segment, they reverse engineered it. They then created a prototype out of aluminum for us to test fit. Once that was proved out and minor countersink issues were resolved, they began creating real segments out of the correct copper material we provided. We received our first segment and test fitted it yesterday. It looks great! Thank you for all of your hard work and we look forward to working with you on our next controller project!
